can you clarify for us what happened with the president's dogs or some reports that one of them was involved in a biting incident?
Can you clarify exactly what happened?
Sure, uh, champion Major.
The president and first lady's dogs are members of the family are still getting acclimated and accustomed to their new surroundings and new people.
And on Monday, the first family's younger dog, Major, was surprised by an unfamiliar person and reacted in a way that resulted in a minor injury to the individual, which was handled by the White House medical unit with no further treatment needed.
It had been previously planned already for the dogs to be cared for by family friends in Delaware during Dr Biden's travels to military bases this week, she has a three day trip this week, and the dogs will return to the White House soon.
Can you confirm that it was a Secret Service member who was bitten?
And can you also reassure the public that Major Biden will not be euthanized as a result of this?
Well, certainly, Major Biden is a member of the family, so I can assure you that I don't have any more details on the individual.
Um, I would encourage you to ask the Secret Service, but I'm not gonna have any more details.
Other than that, we were promised the White House cat.
What happened to that?
Where is the cat?
Today's a good day for the cat.
I don't have any update on the cat.
We know the cat will break the Internet, but I don't have any update on its status.
